Krabi...

Krabi, lies on the south-west coast of Thailand bordering the Andaman Sea has much to offer. It is well endowed with natural beauty. The coastal landscape are speckled with scenic limestone karst formations, entwined mangroves swamps and white sandy beaches.

Hop on long-tail boat to meander around the magnificent karsts. This water taxi is the most common transport and the best mode to explore the charming rocky karsts that dot the coastline...

On a west coast beach, the best moment of repose is lying on beach and wait for the sun to go down...
The longtails are lining up ever since the sun rises, waiting peafully as one wades thru the clear shallow water...is a rite, as the sea stroke away the sand before a journey begins...


And i promise...i'll be back!

Lady of Fatima's blessing...

On my way back after attending the Maha Vihara Temple Wesak festival, i passed by the Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church. Lady of Fatima or Virgin Mary blissful smile urged me to stop by for a picture.
Right after my first shot, Virgin Mary magically litted up the candles to signal hello. And i clicked for second shot. I took it as a blessing.

I believe in God, though i don't subscribe to any prevailing religion. I'm grateful SHE smiles at me, who at times dances with satan...

Wesak...

Wesak or Vesak, the day buddhists commemorate the birth, enlightenment & the passing of Gautama Buddha. In my hometown, i used to stay in front of a small buddhist temple. Every year during Wesak, i'll definately cross over for a free vegetarian meal while my mum busy helping out. Even since i left home, i hardly set foot on any buddhist temple, not to mention paying respect during Wesak. This year, after more than 10 years, i finally went for the Wesak day celebration at the famous Maha Vihara Temple, but more to snap some pictures, what a shame!

When the nite falls...

I stay in Kampung Kayu Ara, the not-so-posh area next to Bandar Utama. Never really walk around the area for the past 5 years. Today i slung on my camera and walk on foot rite before dusk. It isn't that bad in pictures...



Cool...
